SKINS
PERSONAL BEAUTY EDITORIAL PHOTOGRAPHY PROJECT

The project 'Skins' arises from an idea of Federica Sorbello.

The art of makeup fuses with all the shades of human souls, turning the skin in introspective masks. Feeling and emotions are mixed to extrapolate intense psychological and character forms.

Vanity, badness, melancholy, wisdom, envy, materialism and falseness, images unfold up to showing an articulated visual processing.

Skin becomes a blank canvas, eyes are the windows to moral inclinations. Badness is turning in black with a 'total black', which is exposed up to make faces in a dramatical 'light and shade', with a materialism driven by shades of gold, where luxury and aristocracy marks an ostentation made up only with vicious. The vanity is manifested by a riot of strass that extend up to the neck, so dressing a sophisticated woman, It tends to love herself.

The Wisdom holds an ethereal role from the golden likeness, relaxing as a candid meditation , a calm reflection.

The falsehoods breaks all ties. It represents the duality of the human being, divided in half between black and white, good and bad.

The yin and yang of Chinese philosophy railed against conflicting expressiveness that reveal two sides of the same coin, two parallel lines that end at the same point.

Envy in relationships is determined by the explosion of red which are opposed to shades of white, and finally the melancholy takes over with a cobalt blue from intense shades of Disquiet. The eyes have been chosen to play with a living symbolism, observe, to look deep beneath the surface and extract the human facets. The image that opens the project brings us on an inner journey free from chains that aims to represent and labeled people at first glance, then change color after a thorough development of knowledge. “Skin” concludes his account with a universal language made up of truth, transparency and emotions live.

Make Up Forever and Kryolan have contributed to the quality of their products to make more authentic the end result with gold leaf, rhinestones and professional materials. The project has experienced a work of seven months, consists of materials and interpersonal research that has enriched my life luggage.
